Howdy and welcome – fellow Bostonian! Thanks for such easy inspiration!
PS I enjoyed your funny blog comments about secretly rotating the fridge items…at this very moment I have a stash of cheese hidden in the fridge which he will never find unless he bends at the waist to look low or reads this comment – neither of which will probably happen 😉

Definitely make it – I was amazed at how so little syrup made such a big flavor! I had my doubts. My husband practically became misty eyed when he tasted this as he hadn’t had homemade custard since his mother made it many years ago.

Shhhh…dessert really isn’t my favorite part either but the rest of our thanksgiving meal was, although delicious, kinda average.
I couldn’t help but showcase this new and special dessert because as a cook and not a baker I was “puffed-up-proud” about it!
Plus my mother who doesn’t eat sweets and NEVER any sugar thought it good enough to have two servings! That was crowning moment!

[…] Like most savory cooks, dessert is not my specialty. I usually leave that up to the experts. But I have been inspired this year to try my hand at some fancy but simple desserts as I did on Thanksgiving. […]
